| Spring flowering bulbs should be planted late autumn and can be ordered until mid October. Well-known bulbs are Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses, Hyacinths and Alliums. |
Tulips
There are hundreds of tulip varieties, the most beautiful can be ordered at TulipWorld. Tulips look their best in mass plantings. They make very good container plants and are delightful cut flowers. Some of the most charming are the dwarf types which do particularly well in rock gardens and are also suitable for containers. Alliums
Alliums come in all sizes, some alliums will reach up to 4 feet (120 cm) and stand tall with singular beauty. Typically, they produce rounded heads of flowers, often in rosy purple shades, but there are also yellow and white-flowered species. Anemones
Anemones, also known as windflowers, form a large and versatile group of plants. The flowers are often very colourful, and can be daisy-like with lots of petals, or cup-shaped, rather like poppies. Crocuses
Crocus are among the earliest flowers to appear in spring, often pushing their flowers up through the snow. Daffodils
Daffodils look wonderful mass planted in the garden or naturalized in grass, but they also make great pot plants and excellent cut flowers. The best known colour is yellow, but there are also flowers in shades of white, cream, orange and pink. The trumpet is often a different colour to the petals and may be bicoloured. Fritillarias
The name fritillary comes from the Latin word fritillus, meaning 'dice-box', as the checkered patterns on the flowers of some of the species resemble the checkerboards associated with many games played with dice. There are about 100 species of this striking bulbous plant, which is related to the lilies. Hyacinths
Sweet scented Hyacinths are favourites in the garden or as potted plants. In the garden they look their best mass planted in blocks of one colour. Iris
The flowers have a typical iris form with six petals, three inner ones (standards), and three outer ones (falls). Many bulbous irises are early-flowering dwarf forms suitable for growing on rockeries or at the front of beds: they are also excellent for shallow pots in the greenhouse or alpine house. Muscari
Vigorous and easy to grow, grape hyacinths have blue flowers of varying intensity. There are several species and named varieties available, including doubles. The genus got its name from Muscari moschatum. Women in Turkey used to wear this grape hyacinth in their hair as a sign that they were marrying. Specialties
Our specialties include: Arum, Brodiaea, Chionodoxa, Eremurus, Geranium and Nectaroscordum. Easy to grow
Bulbs are easy to grow, provided that you stick to some essentials. Probably no other plant group gives as much variety and pleasure to the gardener with so little effort. The unique thing about bulbs is that they need little but water. Bulbs have a self-contained, highly developed food-storage mechanism that has adapted itself to life underground. Bulbs can spring back to life continuing their species even after lying dormant for months, enduring drought, frost or searing heat. Most bulbs are perennializing and some even naturalizing. Perennializing bulbs will return several years in a row. Naturalizing bulbs will reproduce and come back every year. Top Quality
